Portrait of Sally Davies by Pete Millson

Sally has always been drawn to create in one way or another. She began making her own clothes as a teenager and continued in earnest after attending art college in the sixties.

After 21 years designing her own range of children’s and ladies’ fashion, another creative career emerged . Her love of horticulture and the outdoors inspired her to set up in garden design with a small nursery selling some of the more unusual plants. She also noticed that a good photograph helped buyers to envisage what a plant might look like in flower. She then rediscovered her passion for photography and began making greetings cards using photographs of her plants. After 10 years digging the hard earth in summer and freezing at Farmers Markets in the winter, she immersed herself fully in photography.

Over the last nine years, Sally has returned to her art college training to explore photographic art as a way of communicating the beauty she sees in the natural world.
